An Iraqi girl looks at a US soldier on patrol in the Shiite enclave of Sadr
City, Baghdad. Basic foods and necessities are now increasingly beyond the
reach of ordinary Iraqis as inflation soars due to the destruction of the
already-shaky Iraqi economy, cuts to state subsidies encouraged by the
International Monetary Fund and the Coalition Provisional Authority, and
the disruption of the oil industry.

March
19, 2007 | US soldiers from 2-12 Infantry Battalion tend to a comrade
overcome by shock after an IED explosion during a patrol in Baghdad. For
some US troops on the dangerous streets of Baghdad, news that their
deployment in Iraq could be extended led to comments such as this one from
a vehicle commander: "We just want to get out of here as soon as
possible."

(Excerpt)
A little more than half of the U.S.
population lives in 75 metropolitan areas. Russia has 4,399 nuclear warheads deployed. Except for 624 to be
carried by bombers, they are all land-based and submarine missiles.
Furthermore,
this past week Russia test-fired a land-based missile, the RSM54, and a submarine-launched
missile. Both were intercontinental.
Both hit their targets dead-on. The sub launch was, by the way, the sixth
such test-firing conducted this year.
In the meantime, Iran has no nuclear weapons and no
intercontinental ballistic missiles or long-range bombers. North Korea might have two or three nuclear missiles. Yet the administration, and most of America's news media,
seems obsessed with Iran, no doubt because Israel is
obsessed with Iran. A story by the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported
that the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] played a lobbying role in deleting a provision in the
defense bill that would have required the president to get Congress' OK
before launching a war against Iran.
